Some of their neighbors were extremely evil murderers and perverts of an unusually organized variety such that their destruction made more sense. It was a matter of survival. Infant sacrifice was even common in some of them and corroborated by the archaeological record.
In dealing with more civilized opponents such as Egypt, the god of the Bible took slaughter out of the hands of his people, making a "judgement" upon Egypt he denied his people to make.
The first five books of the Bible were not written by a prophet unless you count Moses who merely compiled the mostly oral traditions of the Hebrew people up to the time he became their leader and including some of his personal experiences toward the end.
I will ask you once again to please stop. You are not any good at this. You are assuming the modern world and the ancient world have similar properties and therefore should have similar rules. That is because you are mentally retarded. Of course mass murder in the modern world makes no sense and is a very serious evil. However in the ancient world where infant slaughter was common and whole societies were very evil more drastic measures could well have made sense.
